This Dog Will Change Your Life is an uplifting, insightful, and often humorous exploration of the profound ways dogs transform the lives of the people who love them. Written and narrated by Elias Weiss Friedman—better known as The Dogist, the social media sensation with millions of followers—the audiobook weaves together stories from Friedman’s own life, tales from friends and strangers, and encounters with thousands of dogs across the world.

Drawing on decades of dog observation and storytelling, Friedman argues that dogs don’t just make our lives better—they make us better people. Through their companionship, dogs teach us patience, purpose, commitment, and the value of living in the moment. The book explores how dogs help us understand our own identities, foster deeper relationships, and even recover from trauma or loss. Each chapter spotlights different aspects of the human-canine bond, from working and service dogs to the quirks of beloved pets, and includes both lighthearted anecdotes and more serious reflections on topics like grief, mental health, and the challenges facing veterinarians
